Hi Paul C;

Agreed.  There are, after all, millions of wage-workers who
are not employed by capital. One of the big mistakes that some
have made over the years has been to confuse the category of productive labor with the working class; productive laborers form only one part of the working class.

In solidarity, Jerry
